Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-116)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head into an away matchup against the Orlando Magic, there's a compelling case to be made for taking the under on Moussa Diabate's combined rebounds and assists at 12.5. While Diabate has shown promise, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 3 assists over his last five games, the numbers tell a different story when he's on the road. His away averages dip slightly to 8 rebounds and 3.2 assists, signaling a tougher environment for him to thrive. Against the Magic, he's averaged just 7 rebounds and a mere 1.2 assists in their last five encounters, which tightens the window even further. With his recent away performance hitting the mark only 67% of the time, the likelihood of him surpassing that 12.5 threshold feels slim. Given these trends, targeting the under on Diabate presents a sound opportunity, especially as he faces the Magic's defense.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate, but it's worth considering a different angle: the under on his rebounds total of 10.5. Although Diabate has flashed potential, his recent performances suggest he's likely to fall short. Over the last five games, he's averaged 8.6 rebounds, dipping to 8 per game when playing away. In matchups against the Magic, he's consistently struggled, pulling down just 7 boards on average. Even in his last three away games, where he's been efficient, he still hasn't surpassed this mark. With the Magic boasting a solid frontcourt, it's reasonable to expect Diabate might find it tough to hit double digits in this one. Taking the under feels like a savvy move, especially with his overall hit rate standing strong at 5 of 6, but the numbers suggest this could be a challenging outing for him.

Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors) Over 11.5 Points (-175)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Warriors gear up to take on the Suns, all eyes should be on Brandin Podziemski. This young guard has been on a scoring tear, averaging nearly 19 points over his last five games, and he's shown a knack for stepping up in away matches, dropping 17.6 points on the road. What's particularly intriguing is his recent performance against Phoenix; he's hit an average of 14.4 points per game in their last encounters. With a hit rate of 10 out of 11 in his last games, Podziemski is not just a player riding a hot streak-he's become a reliable scorer for the Warriors. Given that the Suns' defense won't easily contain his versatility, taking the over on his 11.5 points feels like a savvy move. Expect Podziemski to make his mark as he continues to flourish in this pivotal matchup.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-105)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Charlotte Hornets head to Orlando, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate. However, betting on him to go over 17.5 combined points and rebounds feels risky. Over his last five outings, he's averaged just 6 points and 8.6 rebounds-a far cry from the mark we're targeting. When on the road, those numbers dip even further to 5.6 points and 8 rebounds. Against the Magic, Diabate has averaged 7 points and 7 rebounds, but that's only slightly better when he's away, where he has averaged 10.7 points and 10.3 rebounds. With an overall success rate of 5 out of his last 6 games hitting under this total, and a perfect 3 for 3 on the road, it's tough to see him breaking through in this matchup. Expect a tight game where the numbers just don't add up for Diabate to clear that 17.

LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets) Under 4.5 Threes Made (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Hornets gear up to face the Orlando Magic, LaMelo Ball's prowess from beyond the arc is certainly captivating, but this matchup suggests a different narrative. While he's averaged a solid 5.2 threes in his last five games, those numbers dip when he's on the road, with just 5 made on average away from home. Against the Magic, LaMelo's historical performance is even more revealing-he's only hit 3.2 threes on average in their recent bouts, with that number slightly rising to 3.8 when playing in Orlando. With a hit rate of just 7 out of his last 11 games away, it seems the magic may not be in his corner this time. Coupled with an expected stat value of only 3.26, betting the under on 4.5 threes made feels like a smart move as he faces a tough Magic defense.

Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors) Over 18.5 Points + Rebounds (-119)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Golden State Warriors gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes should be on Brandin Podziemski. This young talent has been on fire, averaging 19 points and 2.2 rebounds over his last five games-solid numbers that hint at his growing role in the offense. What's particularly compelling is his recent performance away from home, where he's been scoring 17.6 points and pulling down an impressive 4.4 rebounds per game.Against the Suns, Podziemski's numbers are even more promising; he's averaged 14.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last few matchups, showcasing his ability to rise to the occasion. With a remarkable hit rate of 9 out of 11 over his last stretch, it's clear he's not just finding the court, but also the score. Given all this, taking the over on 18.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart play to capitalize on his momentum.
